/**
* A routine is a callable object in your RDBMS.
*
* Callable objects are mainly stored procedures and stored functions. The
* distinction between those two object types is very subtle and not well
* defined across various RDBMS. In general, this can be said:
*
* Procedures:
*
*
* - Are called as callable statements
* - Have no return value
* - Support OUT parameters
*
* Functions
*
*
* - Can be used in SQL statements
* - Have a return value
* - Don't support OUT parameters
*
* But there are exceptions to these rules:
*
*
* - DB2, H2, and HSQLDB don't allow for JDBC escape syntax when calling
* functions. Functions must be used in a SELECT statement
* - H2 only knows functions (without OUT parameters)
* - Oracle functions may have OUT parameters
* - Oracle knows functions that mustn't be used in SQL statements
* - Oracle parameters can have default values (to support this, jOOQ renders
* PL/SQL instead of the JDBC escape syntax)
* - Postgres only knows functions (with all features combined)
* - The Sybase JDBC driver doesn't handle null values correctly when using
* the JDBC escape syntax on functions
* - etc...
*
*
* Hence, with #852, jOOQ 1.6.8, the distinction between procedures and
* functions becomes obsolete. All stored routines are simply referred to as
* "Routine".
